Springettsbury Chick-fil-A to bring 60 jobs by next summer

The township supervisors approved the plans Wednesday night.

A proposed Chick-fil-A restaurant is expected to bring 60 jobs, both full time and part time, to the area by mid-summer 2013.

The plans were approved by the Springettsbury Township Board of Supervisors Wednesday night. Construction is expected to begin in early spring and should be completed by mid-summer.

The restaurant, which is closed on Sundays, will be built in the Walmart shopping plaza at the corner of Market Street and Northern Way.

The plans call for the demolition of an existing building.

The building will be built in compliance with the town center overlay aesthetics that govern the rest of the shopping plaza.

The College Park, Ga.-based company has three other locations in central Pennsylvania. They are in the West Manchester Mall on Loucks Road in West Manchester Township; on Mount Airy Road in Shrewsbury; and in Silver Spring Township, Cumberland County.
